Here’s what owner Jason M. has to say about the Logitech Squeezebox Duet:

We got the Logitech Duet about two weeks ago. It was so easy to set-up. Basically just connected it to the stereo, entered our wireless network password, let it update and within 15 minutes, voila! – music. Finding our local NPR station was a snap, and so was connecting to our internet music services.Sound quality is superb! Streaming audio is amazingly clear, and our MP3 collection sounds terrific. The remote works really well. It’s nice to be able to adjust everything from it and to see the name of an unfamiliar song. We’ve also used the software on our computers to control the duet. It works flawlessly.Since getting the Logitech Squeezebox Duet, we listen to so much more music. We’ve had no problems at all and really enjoy this fantastic music player!
